So today, in an accidental celebration, I went to see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. As soon as I got out of class, I ran back home, picked up my mom and sister, and went right to the train station. The train ride was painful. I love my mother dearly, she's my mommy, but my god does she complain and worry a lot. And I wonder where I get it from. We got into the city and right before Radio City, we all stopped for a dirty water dog. I do NOT condone eating street meat, and I have NEVER eaten it before in my life, but I can now say I knocked it off of my bucket list. I won't ever eat a hot dog off the street ever again.
We got into Radio City, and of course my mom and sister start arguing, so I headed right for the wine. I bought a white wine and it came with this super cute cup. I love it. We went to our seats and sat down waiting for the show to start. I love every minute of it, it was a wonderful show, and I recommend it to anyone. I haven't been to the show since I was about six years old, and I have no memory, so this was nice to get to see it and actually remember it.
After the show, we headed to a restaurant called Un Deux Trois, which was to die for French food. I ordered a pre fixe menu, which included, lobster bisque, quiche Lorraine, and yummy lemon sorbet. It was so good. I also had to order a mimosa, ya know, because I was celebrating and all. When we left, we went to see the tree, which I had never seen before. When we got to the tree, after my mother complained the whole way there, it was wonderful. There is no one in the world I would have wanted to see it with more than my baby sister. That made me so happy.
So I kind of forgot to mention, I was talking at lunch about how I really wanted to buy a pair of Christian Louboutins, which again is strictly for celebration purposes. I kept bugging my mother about it, and eventually I got her to walk to Saks Fifth Ave, which happens to be right by the tree. I went in the store with such a purpose. I briskly walked to the elevator, and quickly walked out as soon as I got to the eighth floor, designer shoes. I walked right over to the Louboutin section, it was like I knew where I was, even though I had never been to this floor before. I wanted black patent leather daffodil 160mm pumps. Sadly, they were out of stock. So, I wasn't ready to give up. I had her pull out 120mm pumps, peep toe and closed toe. The peep toe were matte leather, and the closed toe were the patent leather. I tried on the patent leather, and they were way to big. Louboutins run small, so you have to go up a half size or a whole size. I wear an eight and the patent leather was a nine. No bueno. The peep toes, I put on, and it was like Cinderella put on her glass slipper. They fit like a glove. I stood up in them, and said to the sales associate, "That's it, I'll take it!" She rang me up, NY tax and all, and I walked out of that store the happiest girl in the world. Whoever said money can't buy you happiness just didn't know where to shop.
We walked back to the train shortly after and headed home. I immediately came in my house, put my shoes on, and they have stayed on for the last two hours. I am so proud of myself for the last five years, not just for school, but for all the crap that was sent my way that I just crushed like it was nothing. These shoes represent that for me. I am beyond elated with myself for being the strong woman I am today, thanks to the last five years. AMEN THAT I AM ON TO A NEW CHAPTER!
